Prehistoric Belief by Mike Williams
Whilst being extensively researched, a fast-paced and engaging narrative makes this a page-turning read.
Evocative vignettes supplement the text and take readers back in time to experience for themselves the sights, smells, and sounds of the past. This
is a new way to approach prehistory, putting people and the beliefs that they held centre stage.
The Language of the Goddess: Unearthing the Hidden Symbols of Western Civilization by
Marija Gimbutas
"Gimbutas has not only prepared a fundamental glossary of pictorial keys to the mythology of
the otherwise undocumented era of European prehistory, but has established the main themes of
a religion in veneration both of the universe as a living body of Goddess-Mother Creatrix and
of all the living things within it as partaking in her divinity" - from the foreword by
Joseph Campbell.
Sanctuaries of the Goddess by Peg Streep
Long ago, before the Greeks and Romans introduced male-dominated, western-style religions and
gods, the whole of Western Europe and the Near East had a culture of goddess worship which to
some extent survives today in the form of witch and Mother Earth cults. Combining text and
photographic evidence, this book investigates and documents the sites and the spiritual and
cultural origins of goddess worship.
